Question
A postpartum woman has a fever on the ninth day after giving birth, and physical therapy has been ineffective. Taking 999 (a common cold medicine) does not help either. After using rectal fever-reducing medication, the fever decreases, but it rises again a few hours later. This has been happening for two days now. Even after going to the hospital on the third day for intravenous drip treatment and using rectal fever-reducing medication, the fever temperature rises again soon. What should I do?
Answer
In this situation, it’s important to consider the possibility of infectious fever. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is generally not necessary to use fever-reducing medication. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medication can be used appropriately.
